It’s clear, whatever side your on, ni and Scotland are on a different path to England
Damn right, I reckon they'll be accepted into the EU where they can help the Germans exploit England
Scotland has never been apart of the Union, merely kidnapped for our resources and to shove some of the deficit North of the border, bye bye England, Hello Independence 😁😁😁😁
I'm from North England and I want nothing to do with London. Shame we can't both form a government together from them
Google's Cookie Monster
A shame indeed.
@@Jie67 independence lol u are beholden to the anti democratic dictatorship that is the eu. U have no independence in the eu. England will finally be free from the eu. England will be independent. Bye bye Scotland!
Independent Scotland and a united Ireland. Obvious.
Except Boris won't allow a 2nd referendum for Scotland.
@bucketsandshims buck stops with Boris
I agree Liam. Northern England and Wales are treated despicably by London and Southern England.
@Jake. Ultimately it all comes down to economic survival. If the people of Scotland and the people of Northern Ireland feel that their interests are best served by leaving the Union and remaining within the EU then that is up to them and there is nothing that the English can do about that.
It always comes down to economic survival
There is no reason for a democratic elected government rejecting the opportunities for people to make their own choices. Scottish people deserve it. Best wishes to Scotland.
They've already voted on this.
@@noodles169 Situation has changed. Clear division between Scotland and England on the issue of Brexit. Her Majesty the Queen can still be the sovereign of Scotland but the Westminster and 10 Downing Street have to hand the power to the Scottish people.
todayonmtt they have voted twice in the last 20 years and both times it was a big majority that said no to leaving
@@bobdillion440 And if they want to vote again, England shouldn't be the ones to decide whether or not they can
If you've already voted for something then it's apparently undemocratic to vote on it again years later. The brexit vote was undemocratic.
If the UK can vote to leave a political union, so can Scotland 🤷🏿♂️ we shall see what happens now
We don't want scotland anyway.
@@jayc342009 haha, wait and watch the implications of Scotland leaving for your precious monarchy..
@@justanotherview3243 I just want you gone, i am tired of listening to the scottish bitching and moaning about how hard they have it, leave the union.
@@justanotherview3243 The union of the crowns was due to a Scotsman. And since when have the SNP stated they want rid of the monarchy???? They're cucks, their idea of independence is their nation becoming a back water province of a foreign empire.
Independent Scotland = no NHS/ no Armed forces/ no Currency. Good luck in Europe 👍
INDEPENDENCE NOW🏴🏴🏴🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
It's not independence if Scotland joins the EU. It is surrender to Brussels.
Don't forget to swap the Barrnett formula to the Barnier formula. Do you seriously think the EU will have you scrongers. Wish they would.
@Andrew Liffey like 2014? England should be so lucky.
Long live the union 🇬🇧
Nigel Johnson Surrender? Like at Dunkirk?
Independence for Wales!!!!!!!!!!! 🐑🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
🐏 ?
Wales voted to leave the EU.
I'm sorry but a nation calls Wales doesn't exist. Wales is just a part of England, sadly...
If Wales gets independence they will make it legal to rape sheep
@pinkie perky I'd say there's more support after today. It's still not enough but it has definitely gone up now. Support may rise over the next few years depending on how the Tories behave toward Wales.
Nigel Dodds’ defeat was the one bright spot of all this.

It’s a no brainer. Time for Scotland to be independent and Northern Ireland to join the republic. England is on its own now.
What about the taffs...
You're on your own now.... No one likes you!
Good , if that's what they want. I don't think Scotland has changed much since their referendum. How the heck are they going to manage ? EU won't ham 'em and of course EU is not likely to survive much longer anyway.
Happy days!! We will no longer have to support Scotland!! When is the party?
Taffs will also separate??

@@chrisdeanjames2898 give me some examples
Like anyone in England gives an f what Scotland and Northern Ireland do. Byeeeeeeee!
It has become increasingly obvious that Scotland has been steadily diverging from the rest of Britain, both culturally and politically, over the last couple of decades.
In Northern Ireland(NI), the unquestioned Unionist majority has nearly vanished, and politics is breaking out of the old, sterile, sectarian headcount.
The UK has got, at most, a ten year life expectancy.
Whether it be Scotland, or NI, which leaves first is basically irrelevant. Whichever does go first will cause the collapse of the UK...
The reality is that the English nationalism which drove Brixit does not give a single, solitary, damn about any of the three Celtic nations which make up the rest of the UK...
gloin10 England will leave first.
@@Battle_One
Do please get a move on, then...
Couldn't have said it better myself, I only wish Wales had the economic capacity to leave considering how closely tied England has knotted itself to us. That and the fact that English immigrants make up most of our population now so we'd most likely be outvoted
@@007Influence you silly goose you
gloin10 What are you suggesting by saying the UK would collapse if either NI or Scotland left the union, do you think either of those small countries with their tiny population's combined that are less than the population of London would bring the UK to its knees, the Scotts led by Nicola Sturgeon who by the way is not popular in her own country might be fool hardy enough to vote to leave, but the Irish in my opinion would not, where would those tiny countries go if they left they would have to enter into another less lucrative alliance with the Europeans so hopping from one bed to another and who would they trade with if trade agreements with England had to be torn up and renegotiated, it is a combination of the Celtic prime ministers like Brown Blaire and Campbell that got us into the mess we are in now, Celts love to blame England for everything.
The Tories would welcome the dissolution of the U.K. There would be one party rule in parliament.
If Scotland fell off the map tomorrow it would make no difference to the Tories desire for political dominance as the SNP unsurprisingly don't contest seats outside of Scotland. So there vote share can never hand them anything but second hand power as kingmakers. The days are long gone when the Labour party packed its benches with Scottish Labour MP's which is unlikely to change for at least another generation.
and Frankly the way the map is being redrawn One Party rule is a forgone conclusion for at least another decade. whether Scottish MP take there seats or stay at home and put there feet up for the next 5 years

Her majesty cares and she's relying on Boris to maintain her kingdom.

Obviously you feel the same way about us gaining our independence from the EU as well then huh ?

Good luck little britan!!
43% (from a lot of non-voters) isnt the majority and especially Not "they".....
Nicola screaming with joy made my day. A free Scotland and a united Ireland really seems to be on the way.
Free of what you loon? Free from tuition fees? Free from the most money spent on the NHS per capita than anywhere else in the UK? (incidentially Scotland has the highest rates of drug abuse, cardiovascular disease, and obesity related illnesses in europe). Free from England footing the bill for your debt levels, highest in Europe due to the economic mismanagement in Scotland via devolved powers?
Germany will impose strict fiscal controls on Scotland if it wants to join the EU, as it has with every other bankrupt, or economically nonviable country in Europe. Furthermore 70% of all Scottish trade is done with the U.K. which will be subject to the same restrictions and tariffs as every other European country after 'independence'. The union with Scotland is a drag weight on the rest of the U.K., well shot of you. English referendum on whether _we_ still want the union, please!
Nah
@@danielredgrave5431 that insulting and patronisong attitude towards Scotland alone is probably enough to justify them wanting to leave.

@@johnholton934 I totally agree with you

I really feel for my English neighbours and I hope that one day you see sense and chuck these charlatans, but for now we Scots have to look out for our own.
Gary Deans the result has devastated me. I didn’t vote for this. A sad day for me as an English person. I do hope that out of it though that Scotland is heard and gets independence. You have my support for what it’s worth.
Mugs.
I'm English and never wanted Scotland to leave the union, but now you've got my full support. The Scottish electorate are clearly much smarter than the English and Welsh and deserve much better than what we have now. INDEPENDENCE for Scotland, ahoy! 🏴
@Tom Johnson they're like spiteful kids tbh. Life's all good when they're benefitting massively being a member of the UK but when Brexit hit and they didn't get their way they throw their toys out the pram.
Tom Johnson Did I say I wanted the union to break up??? No, I said I wanted the opposite. Can’t you read?? If Scotland has the intelligence to vote in unison for a progressive, liberal party to REJECT this disgraceful, far right Tory government they DESERVE independence if they want it. As for ‘my chosen party’, I would rather have ANY other party in government than this one we have. It’s shameful.
A United Ireland & independent Scotland is not far off now .. Thanks to brexit this is the end of the Union .. Good luck England & Wales you'll need it in the future!
Erm, an independent England = world's 8th largest economy. An Independent Scotland = world's 54th largest economy. I know which I would choose for prosperity!
@@samsaltwell No point in a large economy, if only 10% get the benefit and the rest live in a dump, look at the US., the top 2 countries on the inequality scale, both cheering their economic prowess, while the rest of Western Europe works less hours and has a higher standard of living.
cymek74 still in England job opportunities as well as the value of the pound is much better than what Scotland has.
@@steveharris1974 I think the city you chose to live is almost more important than the country. London, Melbourne, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo... big cities in top GDP countries are usually the most vibrant, exciting and provide the best opportunities.
It's never far off now is it? But it has never happened, and never will.
The idea that our own Union's 300+ years existence should be dependent on The U.K.'s
relationship with a very recent foreign Union ( of 27 years) is wrong and shows a lack of knowledge of history.
Look at Liverpool, no sun propaganda no cons voted .
SHIRLEY DONOVAN if you can get swayed by the Sun newspaper your an idiot.
Everyone changed for brexit
The city centre is ok but the rest of it is awfull .
The reason of Scotland and Northern Ireland independence is BREXIT.
NO BREXIT AND NHS IS NOT FOR SALE
Boris increase the MHS budget
NHS was never for sale anyway you fool.
Comments have aged well. NHS being sold bit by bit. How much are PCR tests for Brits?
I thought the Tories didn’t like Unions.
There correct name is the Conservative and Unionist Party. Unionism in this case being pro-UK.
aodh78 Not so Unionist to agree a border with the EU down the middle of the Irish Sea. This will hurry up the reunification of Ireland. About time, the ‘Unionists’ may even see the benefits of it. Who knows.
@@kc8181 but thats Ireland old chap. The english were never really interested in us. Now that the French Spanish and Germans don't want to invade England, Ireland is from a geopolitical standpoint irrelevant. But Scotland thats part of the Island of GB, the one true union, thats the union they talk about England and Scotland.
P.S. Wales isn't a real country as far as thd English are concerned its just a rather backwards English county something like Norfolk or the Cornwall
Shane Gribben. Hmm! Not sure how tongue in cheek that was, but it will be interesting to hear all of the arguments against breaking up the Union. They will sound very much like all of the arguments for staying in the EU.
@@kc8181
Part tongue in cheek. But the general gist is true in my opinion. Ireland was never that important for the Conservative and Unionist party.
But Scotland which has/had become fully integrated into the Union is something they would be willing to fight for.
Partly to do with the integrated nature of English and Scottish nobility that didn't/ doesn't exist with Ireland.
Partly to do with resources. Scotland is resource rich.
Good luck to Scotland - the people there are not represented by Boris and his Eton goon squad and I hope they leave and create a prosperous country away from the shadow of Westminster.
Sorry if break away from the UK good luck because you will need it because you will not stay in the EU because they will not want you
@@cejannuzi Why?

Strong cooperation between those three nations is key to their success in the event of all of them breaking from England and Westminster. Wales voted pretty strongly for this Conservative government; it's only a matter of time before they are let down and feel the pain a tory government always inflicts on the Welsh nation.

Scottish Independence LETS DO THIS!
What will Scotland become if they leave the UK, their main industry is oil, which will run out in about 50 years. Their economy is weak, they have a small population and they are heavily propped up by Westminster. Per person they receive significantly more funding than those living in England and I really doubt they will be able to afford the NHS and their free education system once they loose funding. Its a death sentence for Scotland and a total shame to see the UK loose some of its best people and most beautiful landscapes. We don't want to see Scotland leave and Scotland can't afford to leave England.
Lets get independent scotland done now and stop hidding in the fridge
@jon jon i cant wait to see what happens after brexit gets in its no deal trousers. funny times ahead
@jon jon are usa using pounds? So how healthy us economy reflects stronger pound in relation with dollar? Uk economy on its knees car industry is a massive loss in 2-3 years time it will be gone completely no matter what outcome with brexit. How u will deal with that?

This concept of a "border in the Irish sea" was not generated by the Irish but by the Brextieer British.
@Albert Pike From a suggestion by the UK who wish they no longer had to deal with NI.
@Albert Pike Lied to? Don't be an idiot, we signed up to be part of the economic union while the UK's crony elite didn't like being not 'on top' any more so decided to sell off the rest of UK's assets to the highest bidder.
Hilarious to see it play out!
@Albert Pike Hahahaha! Nobody has ever been lied to like the British people and on top of that by their own representatives.
@Albert Pike Say hi to Putin for me! Mr. Pike.
Not trying to preach here but it seems like a lot of the English (Brexiteers in particular) are completely ignoring the fact that NI and Scotland are going in a completely different direction - whether you are a Brexit supporter or not, this is just a demonstrable fact. The numbers don’t lie.
Paul Simpson The UK is supposed to be a political union of equal countries regardless of population.
I don’t know how I’d feel if I were Scottish but I can tell you one thing, the hardline Brexiter English need to realize that Europe doesn’t revolve around them.
Paul Simpson I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m saying the “idea” of the UK is that of a union of equal nations. We all know that England runs the show (doesn’t make it right though).

No cake means No Cake. How is denying a second referendum logical on this premise? EU or hard right tory totalitarian overlords? wow! tuff choice....🤪
@Rocky Carlton What makes you think so?
@Rocky Carlton You had your #GE and you chose #Tory. We had ours and we chose #SNP. We knew that by choosing #SNP we were choosing #EU over #UK and that #IndiRef2 would therefore be on the cards. Scotland told England that it wanted to remain in the EU. What part of that can you not understand? The last Indiref was based on Scotland remaining in the EU. Since you English decided to leave then that means we get to have the choice to stay and the only way we can achieve that is through Independence. Can you get your head round that or is that still to complicated for you?
Congratulations to Scotland and I wish their independence the best! I don’t think NI is as much in unity as Scotland but we should let them decide!

As an Englishman who's always been proud of our union, I've always been dismayed at the thought of Scotland leaving the union. However, I'm now so happy for Scotland rejecting Boris Johnson's Brexit and his far right agenda. Like them, I don't want to be living in a country run by a far right Tory government. I'd even escape to an independent Scotland where their electorate actually have half a clue, and a desire to live in a progressive and liberal society. England is screwed.

David Holdstock If that is the case, then why are you so scared of another referendum NOW!!!. The vote in 2014 was when the UK was still in the EU; now is a totally different ball game. I dare you to it now .......
England should have a referendum on whether or not to keep Scotland. Good luck.

If Scotland votes stay I might move there 😂😅
It certainly does :) thank you England, you have given us exactly what we wanted without knowing 😂😂
Good luck. I pray for Scotland as it has so much resources and beauty

The Scottish people should have right to govern themsleves in the 21st century, just like English people does.
The thing is they'll forfeit that independence for an unaccountable EU
They already do govern themselves. Scottish Parliament has significant devolved powers.

Everyone always likes Democracy until it doesn’t get them their way.
The fact is the rich and greedy have learned how to make 'democracy' work for them. Rupert Murdoch and Lord Rothrmere own the British press and the British Tory party and they get what they want. Can you prove otherwise?

Well I hope that both Northern Ireland, and Scotland separate. They really didn’t seem like they liked it anyways. Plus it will cause even more uproar towards the incompetent government of England.
It’s just recently that the Union is getting increasingly fractured...
Northern Ireland has been voting DUP for a long time and Scotland has been getting preferential treatment (namely lower medical prescription costs and free Higher Education) compared to England and Wales. But Brexit has opened the fractures that have been brewing for decades.

" scotland gets preferential treatment " in claiming we pay no prescription costs and no higher education costs
I'm not sure as I said that you either believe the difference is paid for by Westminster therefore giving Scotland in your words preferential treatment Or you dont actually know that it's not paid for by Westminster and is actually paid out of the scottish govt budget We did so by reallocation of funds Not by increased subsidy from the UK govt
In effect by being more efficient we were able to reshape the budget to remove these two costs from Students and the sick

@Roger Dodger He's an ignorant Jock! Now ask him about fried Mars Bars,and you'll get an education!
Wow. Ok fine. Though Edward the 1st didn't conquer all of today's UK, he did half conquer Scotland, setting the tone for its eventual annexation. An aggressive Warlord King like that would feel sick seeing Scotland slip away on a mere referendum, prompted by Tory political stubbornness.
Same thing could be said about Northern Ireland (and whatever Kings/Queens we want to credit for that conquered territory.) 500 years of stiff-upper-lip English resistance - and untold buckets of blood - might be all for naught if Ireland is allowed unite the whole island (so as to properly seal off England from the EU). The IRA ultimately wins if Ireland reunites.
Losing Scotland and Ireland are only possibilities because of Brexit stubbornness

i think now is the time to move while there still freedom of movement and the political situation is still in flux
even a lot of the Labour voters in Scotland would vote Yes in a second referendum along with LibDem voters
@Albert Pike well literally every labour voter I know and have spoke to said they would vote for independence. Also the lib dem pro EU voters probably wouldn't have "last time" because we were promised we would remain in the EU since circumstances have changed (yeno that thing that happens in democracy) then it's safe to assume the results wouldn't be the same as last time.

@@KM-cw1gv i really wonder how scotland would do ob its own. Because i dont believe EU would allow them to stay in the EU by itself
It would be interesting to see what way English voters would go in independence referendums, because Scotland think that the English actually want them to stay. One last thing, the Act If Union was actually Scotland’s idea in the first place.
Be more specific! The Scottish people had no,say in the union, it was decided by Scottish nobles!
agreed! most English can't wait for the Scots to bog off
The Scottish has chosen, they chose an Independent Scotland.
No
@@wrestling46nerd Well, at least as much as the election was on brexit,...

@AyeNaeBotherMate A Na, they didnt. Plus not everybody who didnt vote would do so in a vote for Independence.
But their are a lot of hints that a new vote for independency would be a success today and because of the huge change (brexit) I belive it's fine to hold up another vote.

Tear up the act of union take it to court and put that out of date mandate in the bin where it truly belongs..we don't need to beg Boris just trash the 1600 act of union up and publically declare Scotland independent. ..
there are examples of a managed brake up and those that descend into civil war hopefully this can be be a managed brake up
@@davekkik2258 The simple answer to that is yes. ..already Scotlands fiscal powers are extensive an Scottish taxation system is in place and Scots don't complain even though the threshold is higher than England health social care are In holyrood hands with some control over welfare benefits in place Scotland has always had an separate legal system and more powers are currently being pursued examples include crime and the decriminalisation of drug use to control addication and offending levels...but Scots need full political economic and legislative control and powers..We make no bones we are an sovereign nation protected by international treaties convention and law we have the right to take the land out of the union by an simple vote of the MSP's in Holyrood we do not approval from England or the rest of the United Kingdom no-one but Scots can lay claim or title to the lands of Scotland we have the right to defend our nation it's people and its borders and we are entitled to be respected in international convention..We are an sovereign state that has clear rights to determine it's destiny and we cannot be stopped from doing so..

Time to move to Scotland I think.
Only if you vote for independence.
Ye scotlands going to go for independence again
Scotland has never gone for independence. They have had two referendums and voted to remain in the UK both times. This time will be different though because England will get a vote on whether to throw the fucking moaning kilt wearing bastards out of the union.
Boris is so toxic this time will be yes Boris has no hope of keeping the union together its dead its finished its over
@@davekkik2258 Scotland will be fucked off whether they vote yes or no England and Wales are now sick to the fucking back teeth of hearing those moaning kilt wearing fuckers!
@bucketsandshims I think he's right about Wales. They're a respectable cut above the Scots and Irish and less prone to historic temper tantrums. If they do leave I am sure it will be a lot more dignified and a lot less pathetic than Scotland's failure to grasp reality.
I wonder if Ms Sturgeon has considered fully the consequences. She doesn't like trident but what happens to the local economies when the naval bases leave the Clyde. Does the Scottish parliament fund the Scottish regiments. With the world being urged by climate change to ditch fossil fuels like oil and with the EU if stealing the fish in their waters what then.
I still don't understand what has happened.
Boris is now saying we are going to unite this country. He is actually going to do the opposite.
How after 9 years of austerity the very people that get punished the most now asked for more?
What are they being punished for? Oh yeah, Blair and Brown. Serves you right. The UK will never recover from the recklessness of their rule.
